So what’s the bottom line? Businesses must do business with Government * According to U.S. Census Bureau

  7. First Implementation of GovTide • “GovTide has been absolutely essential to engaging nearly 20,000 businesses in the federal market, connecting them daily to federal opportunities and to helping them win over 1,650 contracts – worth at least $3.5 billion.  These contracts have generated over $275 million in State tax revenue, generated a 28:1 return on investment in the NCMBC, expanded our tax base statewide and generated better quality of life for all citizens in North Carolina.  GovTide is a winner.” • Scott Dorney, Director • North Carolina Military Business Center • MatchForce.org • Run by the State of NC via NCMBC • Started in 2004 • State of North Carolina has spent over $4M in enhancements • Goal: Keep Federal contract dollars within the state through NC Businesses. • Over 50,000 users

  8. Testimonials It’s working in North Carolina and it can work in any other state. GovTide is a smart use of technology for economic expansion. What sets GovTide apart is the ability it gives small business, the heart of this nation’s economic structure, to beat faster and stronger. For the unfamiliar, the federal contracting process can be daunting. For small business, it can mean a significant investment of time with little return. Business can’t succeed and grow without a chance. GovTide gives them that chance.” Representative Robin Hayes, (R) – NC District 8 1999-2009United States House of Representatives “I believe so strongly in the GovTide technology that it was a critical component of an economic development bill I sponsored last year. The mission is to help our state’s small and mid-sized businesses compete for and win federal contracts. GovTide is going to prove a tremendous means of creating new jobs and expanding the tax based for communities across North Carolina.” Senator Anthony E. Rand , (D) Cumberland, Senate District 24 2001-2009North Carolina General Assembly
